    I'll start by saying I'm new to mmos and find myself wiping on some of the easier dungeons. Personally, I'm not keen on dungeon nerfs/player buffs. These fights are a challenge and I want to improve to be able to succeed. I don't particularly want SE to dumb down stuff so that I feel better about myself/the game. >.> It will have the opposite effect. I do feel that the game is actually pretty easy overall seeing that I'm level 50 already, but what do I have to compare it to?

    I've met a number of players who say the game is "too easy". The only time I feel bad is when I mention that I wiped for the 5th time on Garuda HM and some other player is "LOL Garuda is so easy!L2P!" But that's not a problem with the game difficulty, that's a problem with assholes.

    And you shouldn't feel bad, and neither worry about content getting nerfed, because it will get nerfed, and ocne it's nerfed there will be more hard content, so you'll have always something to challenge yourself with.... And if there isn't. Then the players that seek to challenge themselves with content will just quit. Sad? Maybe. But that's the way it is, there will be other games that present harder or equal challenges too. Having said that. I doubt SE will remove the challenge from top end-game. Because that is something that people always want, even if it's a small percentage of the players.

    On another note, I've wiped HM garuda too? So what. xD It's not only about how you perform, it is not a solo dungeon. And even if every player in there were very experienced and skilled and what not, you could still wipe to lack of coordination and just poor sync overall between players (maybe garuda is not the example for the lattest, but it still can happen and will happen on harder content, why it won't happen on garuda? because it simply doesn't require that much gear, and yes, sadly, gear allows you to avoid coordination and mechanichs and such, it just makes it easier).

    If everyone went and did garuda in AF gear (the ilvl 50 and 55 set) with equal items for their other slots, then it would require much more skill, and groups of experienced players could wipe easily too.
